black history month

Perusing through theNew York Timesrecently, I stumbled upon the story of Zelda Wynn Valdes, a fashion designer who outfitted such incredible illuminaries of the 20th century as Ella Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker, Ruby Dee, May West & Marlene Dietrich.

Despite starting her career in the years of Jim Crow segregation, Valdes nevertheless strove to do what she wanted to do: create beautiful clothes for women of all shapes and sizes.
